He ran away crying from the scene of his daddy and mummy arguing in the rather large halls of King's Landing. He swore he could still hear their voices from afar, as the tears streamed from his face. Neither of them cared about him - they only cared about mummy having another baby... but wasn't he enough for them? He put his head into his legs, titling as the tears streamed from his cheeks as he sat in a secret hiding place he and his brother once found in the Keep. His brother wasn't here though and he was the only one who cared about him and now he was gone too. Off to a foreign place called Dorne. He was the only one left here, considering he was apparently too young for such things, which was unfortunate. But why send away his brother? He begged them, pleaded with them not to, but they told him he was simply too young to understand there reasons as parents.
As he hid in his space, he'd hear the sound of a girl's voice. A girl? He'd put his head on his pants, before wiping off the tears, considering he was a big boy.. He just knew it, despite him being only past his sixth nameth day, but he didn't care. The girl's voice was pretty, and he liked that - he felt as though he could listen to it forever. He decided maybe, just maybe, he'd go out of his hiding spot in the Red Keep to find her. But something stopped him, and so he stayed in the shadows, feeling Aegon's lost more keenly than before. His older brother had been his buddy in times such as these and always found a way to make him laugh himself silly whenever he felt down like this. But he was gone, and he had to deal with his parents bickering all alone now.
As he closed his eyes, he imaged Aegon, large, strong and older, with a rather military styled pointy helm upon his head - he recognized it as King Maegor's and King Jaeheray's the Second's crown, and all the while blood was dripping from the sky above his head as he walked sadly towards his unseen goal all alone with no help, and everything was so dark around him beyond the flames under the sliver king's feet. Somehow, that scene made Baelon feel even more sad because Aegon was his brother and he wanted to help him through whatever he needed helping with. Though, he's been seeing such things in his dreams as of late, even with that white direwolf puppy his daddy gave him last nameday... Ghost... it didn't help the dreams go away. Though he loved Ghost, the puppy more than anything and he went everywhere with him. Even now, his puppy sat cuddled in his lap, licking away the tears. It tempted him to laugh, actually because he loved the dog so very much.
Holding the puppy made him feel more safe, somehow, considering it was so small and tiny. It was his friend, Ghost, and he'd do anything to protect it from harm. His brother had a mean, nasty cat that hated dad very much considering it's occupation of tearing up dad's face and arms. However, Aegon loved that cat so much that he begged to bring it to Dorne with him, which dad agreed too. He was so happy, to bring that cat everywhere with him and the cat gave him the most amount of love out of everyone. Sometimes, he felt truly envious of him for that.
The girl's voice was close enough that he could have a peak at her face, considering there was indeed a little pigeon hole he could see out of. When scooched forward with his puppy, he'd see her briefly- she had medium length raven colored hair and bright blue eyes. Yet she was so pretty, with gentle freckles across her doll shaped face and a yellow gown with something on it. He couldn't see, but the gown was gently long-sleeved and she appeared his age, for the most part. He hadn't seen very many girls in the castle that truly interested him, not like the girl with the pretty voice. However, he'd decide to go back into the shadows where he was before, but silently this time.
He didn't know the girl's name, but she intrigued him. Like Arianne Martell, the fat girl, of whom somehow enchanted Viserys. His uncle had odd tastes in woman, he supposed, but that girl was so angelic looking, so pretty.. he'd be thinking about her for days on end. He wasn't worried the pretty girl would find him, considering this was a super secret place.. just like what his brother said with a smirk. No thinking about him... You'll only cry, you're a big boy, aren't you He forced himself to think differently and he summoned the courage to leave it.
However, he'd start to feel wolfish again like he did each night and his puppy opened the door instead and ran out. With his puppy's senses, he'd lovely run towards the girl, barking as he did so,. He didn't know what he was doing, but whatever it was it was working because the pretty girl ran over immediately and picked him up with a smile on her face.
She had starling blue eyes, the color of the sky. She leaned into him, with a smile, "Aw a cute puppy! I love puppies!" She sounded enthusiastic as she cuddled him in her gentle arms. However, she had picked him up baby styled so he laid there completely defenseless in her arms, or at least as defenseless as a Dire Wolf puppy could be in someone's arms. He snorted, thinking to himself, I'm completely stuck here, can someone help me? She held him tightly, thinking he might be a lost puppy, which wasn't the case.. He wasn't, but nevertheless, this was quite an adventure for himself.
"Jon! Look at this puppy I have!" She held him up for 'Jon' Daddy's friend He recognised this red haired man on the side of her, he was daddy's friend of sort. He didn't know him too well because Jon never spoke to him very much. He sometimes spoke to Aegon, but even that was limiting and Aegon called him awkward in secret. He was glad he had a brother like Aegon.
Jon stared at him, with a slight smirk. "Myra, dearest.. That's the Prince's dog."
At that he growled at Jon, considering he just may as well given himself away. The girl left the puppy go immediately after that, with a sigh, "Is he Prince Baelon's puppy?" She asked however her eyes widened and she looked at him as she ran back under her feet. Her dress was long and modest, given that that she was out in public, he'd assume. Though he'd do this action with as much effort as he could muster, it wasn't sufficient enough given he tripped plenty on the hard floor
"The Prince would be displeased if he knew the dog liked you." Jon gave him a wink... as if he knew? How could he know when I don't? This... feels as natural as breathing... Somehow...
"I should tell him his Direwolf is cutie pie." She flashed him a smile, before going down to pet him, though cautiously. He couldn't help but laugh at her doing that, it was irresistibly nice feeling but it felt so funny and nice though.
"You should tell him yourself... whenever they find him..." Damn it, are they searching for me? At that, he began panicking, jumping up and down, and he went around her in a circle once before running back to his hiding place. But she was following.. unfortunately, considering as soon he opened the door to his secret place, he'd discover he was laying there, asleep. He was crossing his arms, and was snoring and everything. He even recognized the . How did he manage to do that? However, as soon as the dog came back, he felt himself opening his eyes to see her.
He'd snort himself awake, before yawning. Whatever he did was tiring... but he didn't feel wolfy. He picked up his dog, with a big smile. She was giving him a confused stare, as if she just encountered something odd. He wasn't acting wolfish, now was he?
"Hi!" He'd give her a big, pleasant smile before stepping quite clumsy out of his hole. This eccounter made him feel much, much better about everything in the long run. However, as soon as he showed himself, the bloody uptight King's Guard would arrive.
Bloody upstarts, he hated the way they followed him everywhere. At least it was Arthur Dayne, Aegon's hero, this time instead of Barristan. Though he liked the old man, he just didn't want to be escorted to daddy immediately. Which is what Barristan did, which made him the nanny Captain if anything.
The girl's response was to stare at him, curiously, "Hi Prince." She had such lovely eyes, they were so nice to look at... He'd think, they reminded him of the midnight sky with how dark they were. Like Orys Barathoen's eyes, he'd think. Was she related to them somehow?
"You know, your parents say don't run off." The galient Knight became a Galient baby sitter. How he wished Aegon could've seen this, could've experienced this, to let all the fanboyism go from his heart.
"I know Sir babysitter." He struggled to walk after this encounter, for him it felt like hours of sitting there rather than just a minute, I'm sorry, Aegon for running our spot and you said you'd never do that.. At that, he probably looked tear-eyed over it considering thinking about Aegon made him feel lonely...
"Huh, first time for everything. Now let's go meet your father." He could tell Arthur was amused and that made him angry at him for it. He didn't want to meet his father, no he didn't.
He however followed him, but he was angry that he couldn't speak more to that pretty girl more... He stared back at her, softly and she stared at him. However softly, he'd always remember those blue-colored eyes of hers though. She stared down at her feet afterwords before going back to her own mentitor. He wanted to speak to her more in the future, and that was for sure.
